Undecided

Chapter 1 ; Summer

School had just ended. Chase ran out of his classroom and met up with Grayson outside. They looked at each other and read each other's mind, "my place." They walked together to Chase's place, which was only a block away from the high school.

They stayed outside, getting on the ten year old swing set. Chase looked over at Grayson, "What the fuck are we going to do this summer? I'm 17 and I can do whatever the fuck I want." Grayson couldn't help but giggle at his remark about his age. "You have a point. We have three months, we'll figure something out." Grayson shrugged, looking down at the sand at his feet. Chase looked up at the sky, thick and gray clouds starting to form quickly. "Shit." he mumbled, grabbing Grayson's hand and pulling him inside his house.

Grayson groaned, "But rain.." he pouted, crossing his arms. "Shut it, I don't need to start off summer sick." Grayson uncrossed his arms when he sat down at the table, smiling, knowing Chase had a point. He took his phone and looked at the lock screen. "Is this when you met Ashton?" Grayson asked, alright knowing the answer. Chase sighed, "Yeah..." he looked down at his phone, knowing that photo was taken when he had fallen for her. "I miss her.." Chase mumbled, scratching the back of his neck. Grayson quickly stood up, slamming his fist on the table. "We're going to Palm Coast and you're going to see Ashton again."

Chase shook his head, "No. Ashton hates me. I fucked up, okay? I don't need to see her and she doesn't need to see me." Grayson sighed, sitting back down, trying to figure out a plan for the summer. Chase's mom parked in front of the house. Grayson quickly ran into his room and jumped out the window. Chase's mom didn't like Grayson coming over due to his father being the reason why their family split up. When Grayson got to his house, he texted Chase.

Grayson - So, summer?
Chase - Skype for days.
Grayson - WE DID THAT LAST SUMMER
Chase - ITS RAINING
Grayson - CHEESE
Chase - I'm listening.
Grayson - I'm staring out the window and I saw someone walking.
Chase - Who?
Grayson - Selinaaaaaaa :)
Chase - Can you not?
Grayson - TALK TO HER
Chase - WHY
Grayson - BECAUSE YOU HAVENT SPOKEN TO HER SINCE THE 7TH GRADE AND YOU ARE A JUNIOR NOW
Chase - MAYBE IM STILL IN LOVE WITH HER
Grayson - don't knock it until you try it
Chase - I want to feel the rain
Grayson - don't change the subject
Chase - skype so I can explain because obviously someone forgot

Grayson didn't forget, he knew how easily Chase fell for girls, but he also knew how much Chase held in at the same time. He called him on skype and Chase stared at Grayson. "Look, Selina and I stopped talking because of that brief period where I lived in Texas. We didn't say goodbye, and since then she hasn't known anything about me. She still has no clue that I moved back and she probably never will because of her abusive boyfriend." Grayson sighed, "I'm sorry Chase, I know how much she meant to you." Chase gave a fake smile, "I'm over it. It's been over 4 years and she seems like her boyfriend can treat her better then I probably ever could."
